The Student PlugBuy it. Sell it. Find it.
The easier way for students to find what they need, sell what they don't, and connect safely around campus.

Three things you can do here
No accounts, no endless scrolling through strangers' inboxes. Just tell us what you need.
Find
Can't find it? Ask us. Tell us what you're after and we'll try to plug you in.
Find it for me →How the exchange works
Unlike a normal classifieds site, The Student Plug stays in the middle from request to handover.
You request it
Tap "Get this item." No need to hunt down the seller yourself.
We check it
We confirm with the seller that it's still available before you go any further.
We connect you
We coordinate between both of you and help arrange a safe place to meet.
You get it
Meet safely around campus and the exchange is done — no loose ends.
Students are plugging each other in
A small, growing network of students helping each other out — here's the kind of thing that happens on here.
Sarah found a desk in Braamfontein.
Thabo sold his old monitor in Hatfield.
Liam found a mini fridge before moving into res.
Your number stays yours.
We don't throw students into random WhatsApp conversations. We stay in the middle until both sides are ready.
